encryption key.

Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must know
the computer’s network configuration information. If the

computer’s network configuration is set to DHCP, the wireless

network setting should also be DHCP. Likewise, if the

computer’s network configuration is set to Static, the wireless

network setting should also be Static.
If your computer is set to DHCP and you want to use Static

wireless network setting, you must contact the network

administrator to get the static IP address.

For the DHCP method

If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if

DHCP is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm

window. However, if it shows Static, click on Change
TCP/IP

to change the assignment method to Receive IP

address automatically (DHCP)

.

For the Static method

If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if

Static is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm

window. However, if it shows DHCP, click on Change
TCP/IP

to enter the IP address and other network

configuration values for the machine.
For example:

If computer’s network information is as shown below:

-

IP address: 169.254.133.42

-

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

Then, the machine’s network information should be as

below:

-

IP address: 169.254.133. 43

-

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet

mask.)

-

Gateway: 169.254.133.1

16.

The wireless network connects according to the network

configuration.

When the wireless network setting is completed, disconnect the USB

cable between the computer and machine.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

After the installation is finished, click on Quit or Restart.

Setting a wireless network with network cable

Your machine is a network compatible machine. To enable your machine to

work with your network you will need to perform some configuration

procedures.

After compleleting the wireless network connection, you need to

install a machine driver to print from an application (See "Installing

network connected machine’s driver" on page 37).

See your network administrator, or the person that set up your

wireless network, for information about your network configuration.

Preparing items

Ensure you have following items ready:

Access point

Network-connected computer

Software CD that was provided with your machine

The machine installed with a wireless network interface

Network cable

Setting IP address

Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and

managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically

assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server

located on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a

static IP and is often required in corporate intranets for security reasons.

DHCP IP assignment

: Connect your machine to the network, and wait

a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the

machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as

explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has

changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP

address in the report.

Static IP assignment

: Use SetIP program to change the IP address

from your computer.

In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network

administrator to set this address for you.

Printing a network configuration report

You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a

network configuration report.
To print the report:

In ready mode, press and hold the Cancel (

) button for about 5

seconds. You can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.
